Healthcare practitioners have a responsibility to
continually update their professional knowledge and
skills for the end benefit of the patient or client. To
this end the HPCSA has implemented a Continuing
Professional Development (CPD)programme.

Every
practitioner is required to accumulate 30 Continuing
Education Units (CEUs) per twelve-month period and five
of the units must be on ethics, human rights and medical
law.

Each CEU will be valid for 24 months from
the date on which the activity took place (or ended, in
the event of post-graduate studies) after which it would
lapse. This means that practitioners should aim to
accumulate a balance of 60 CEUs by the end of their
second year of practise, and thereafter top-up the
balance through additional CPD activities.

Mandatory random audits are conducted to ensure
compliancy. Once a practitioner’s name has been
selected, they are required to submit a CPD portfolio to
Council within 21 days.

Non-compliant
practitioners will be given six months in order to
comply. After the period of 6 months a practitioner will
again be audited and if there is still non-compliance,
the Professional Board will consider
appropriate action.

Practitioners are
required to submit their CPD portfolios ONLY when their
names are drawn from a random sample audit and when
requested to submit their completed form CPD 1 IAR with
accompanying proof of CPD activities undertaken.
